Question:
The questioner asks this, O Shaykh, about the book al-Mughni, and about these volumes?
Answer:
The book al-Mughni is a comprehensive work covering the four schools of jurisprudence and the views of the Salaf; it is a scientific encyclopedia. It is suitable only for scholars and not for beginners, because it contains the views of the later generations and various opinions. A beginner should take the abridged works, whereas a scholar has no objection to reading al-Mughni to know the schools of thought and their evidence, and to distinguish the stronger position from the weaker one. Yes.
